In a modern reading
Stability, persistence and things that last. The Anchor holds whatever it touches in place, for better or worse. [13][14][11]
Text on the 19th-century card
Printed on a French Petit Lenormand (Geûens-Sea, Bruges, c. 1895–1901), Bibliothèque nationale de France [1]
Est le signe d'une heureuse entreprise sur mer, d'un grand avantage dans le commerce et d'un fidèle amour, mais dans l'éloignement elle indique une erreur totale dans les idées et l'amour devient papillon.
Is the sign of a successful venture at sea, great advantage in trade and faithful love; but at a distance it indicates a complete error of judgement, and love becomes fickle as a butterfly.
As a house in the Grand Tableau
